Montreal is fortunate to have a great ethnic flavor with its various restaurants and we also have some places that have decided to take the next step and try out an ethnic brunch.

For those who missed our appearance on CJAD 800’s Dinner Rush with Andrea Howick , here is a recording and recap of the interview.

We will be posting a full Mother’s day Brunch article soon, but for now here is some info and tips. As well as a little background on how we got started.

Some of the places we spoke of are listed with a link and address.

The 411 Ethnic brunch is often a concept rather difficult to pull off. Many have a choice to make: you can go the classic Montreal breakfast route, disregarding their ethnic tradition; you can try to go full ethnic and put something traditional on the table at the risk of it being closer to lunch than brunch; and sometimes, you strike a balance between the two. Su is a Turkish restaurant that I’ve been to for dinner before and quite enjoyed the meals there. I’ve always gone with at least one Turkish person so they help in navigating the menu and make those hard decisions as to what to order.
